Whenever Simone Biles is scheduled to compete, she comes to slay. She’s taken the gymnastic world by storm with her unbelievable talent, charisma, and of course, Black Girl Magic.
But as much as we stan Biles, it's probably safe to say her biggest fan is her boyfriend and Houston Texans player Jonathan Owens. The fellow athlete was in attendance during her U.S. Gymnastics Championship over the weekend and shared his excitement over being in love with arguably the greatest gymnast of her time.
"What an amazing experience," Owens posted on his Instagram.
"First time getting to watch you compete in person and you didn't disappoint. It's so cool that I get to watch you do what you love, and be the best at that!! I'm so proud of you my lil champ. Trials up next and you already know I'm there!! Love you baby,” he added.
“I love you so much,” Biles responded in the comment section. “I’m so happy you got to watch while in the middle of OTA's. You’re a real one."
”Owens replied that he wouldn’t have missed the performance “for anything.”
Showing his support, in his Instagram story, Owens shared photos of Biles’ breathtaking floor routine. calling her moves on the balance beam “effortless."
"Let's gooooo," Owens wrote, "So proud of you love @simonebiles."
The couple has been dating since August, making it official by sharing photos of each other on Instagram.
Owens, 25, refers to himself as "just a kid from St. Louis" and has been playing football since his childhood, according to Women's Health Mag.
He played college football at Missouri Western State University before beginning his NFL career in 2018 with the Arizona Cardinals.
The two also share a love for their pet Bulldogs. Owens' dog, Zeus, has his own Instagram account and is said to be the "most energetic English Bulldog you've ever met."
As Blavity previously reported, Biles made history again by winning her seventh national title in the U.S. Gymnastics Championships at the Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas over the weekend. By a significant margin, she captured the individual all-around gold winning the vault, balance beam and floor routine competitions.
Biles’s incredible performance last week was just another example of why she is considered the G.O.A.T. of gymnastics. She set a new record for the most all-around titles ever for an American woman, leapings past Clara Schroth Lomady, who won six titles in the late 1940s and early 1950s. Biles along with Alfred Jochim holds the distinction of having the most titles by an American gymnast.
SIMONE BILES.
That's all.

Biles is gearing up to be the favorite to win the gold in every individual event she participates in. Her reign of dominance places her among the most decorated Olympic athletes in history.
Next up for Biles is the Olympic trials where the winners will represent America at the Olympics in Tokyo Japan this year, which will be held in late July.
